During fall recruitment, Kristin Reeves says the Delta chapter of Alpha Omicron Pi found the perfect candidate for the sorority at Tufts University.

So the Tufts junior, along with 46 other members, quit the campus sorority last month in protest. Headquarters eventually said the transgender student could join, but by then, Reeves says the damage was already done.

"The reality is they threatened to sue us," she said. "They had to question whether or not they wanted to allow a transgender woman."
